Eating dirt...the good stuff in life.

There we go! Here are some pics from TODAY of Chi outside playing in the leaves. He decided he was going to try a foreign cuisine-stick. After searching for the perfect stick he proceeded to take his binky out, inspect the ends of the stick, and bite into the best side. He's not really a "stick" guy as it turns out...Another horrifying update is that we have a snake charmer on our hands. The other morning, Malachi and I were folding clothes (and unfolding clothes) in our bedroom when he decided to go into the hallway. I heard the patter of his little hands on the tile, and all was fine. I've learned something about my little boy-when he stops crawling or walking, you know he has stopped to inspect something! Well, since snakes are generally an OUTSIDE creature, I had no clue what I would see when checking on him in the hallway. In the tightened fist of his little hand I spied a wiggling black...something-which turns out it was a tail. Mr. Goldenstein had found a 4 inch little baby prairie, ring neck snake and tried to do something along the lines of bite his head off. Mom freaked out, Malachi didn't understand why I was being such a baby about the whole thing. Mom was fine once she frantically researched these types of snakes on the internet, turns out-they aren't venomous or poisonous~So relieved, I had to laugh about it. Malachi is a mountain man and he's not afraid of snakes-yet...
